I'm going to use the seats out of a Triumph GT6. I'm 6'-6" and my head just
touches the top to the door with the GT6 seat in place. A pair of seatsfrom
a Spitfire may work as well. Low profile, fits well. Spitfire seats fold
forward, so you can adjust the lean you'd need to not rub the roof.
Just a word of advice: Modify the seats to fit the car, not the other way
around. I have to weld on some tabs to run the bolts thru the original
holes.
What are Bricklin seats out of originally? How much is a pair worth?
